Complete Hydro Service - Portland, OR

IPS Portland specializes in single-source turnkey solutions for hydroelectric generators, including repair and field services. As part of the IPS coast-to-coast footprint, we can concentrate more experience and resources than local repair shops, with response times and cost advantages that larger, multi-national service providers can’t match.

At IPS Portland, we service and repair all brands of hydroelectric generators. Our experienced field service specialists offer a full spectrum of electrical tests, including EL CID, corona probe, MCE, polarization index, surge, hi-pot and partial discharge, and they’re backed by deep technical experience. We also provide engineering evaluations, uprate and design services, manufacturing and installation, to give you more power and reliability in the same footprint.
